Provo takes helm of Peaks Ice Arena

Come on Provo! This is getting absolutely ridiculous. So much that we are not supposed to know, especially when it involves our tax dollars.
Do you have to file a GRAMA request each time you report on this Mayor? Seriously...
While we're in a recession, the focus needs to be on the patron's ability to afford to participate. With some creative problem solving among parents and the Peaks, we can work together to offset expenses for the facility, the tax payer, and the parent.
Maybe now with governmental influence, the Peaks can work with local schools to incorporate these winter sports in to their PE programs. We're a winter state, for crying out loud! We ought to be able to generate interest and new blood, even put Utah on the country's hockey map, but it needs to be affordable now more than ever.
How about an equipment swap/used gear sale? Why not let hockey/skating parents run the concession stand at the college games to offset their fees, and save the Peaks some operating costs? A Peaks parental advisory board is an idea left un-explored. We can solve these issues without accusation over who's fault it is winter sports aren't thriving here in Utah County.
